It had been one HELL of a surgery, and an EXCRUCIATING long one at that. Leonard's entire spine, and absolutely EVERY joint he had were aching but that didn't stop him from slipping up behind Linda (who had just been INNOCENTLY scrubbing down her hands, minding her business even.) and wrapping his still damp arms around her waist. Leonard's head dipping down (despite his spine's disapproval) and pressing the a kiss to the base of Linda's NECK.

"understood."

he leans on his elbows and cups his chin in his palms, long fingers tapping against his cheeks.

"...so when did this start exactly? childhood? early teens?"

NO BUT THIS IS WHAT THE NEW SUIT IS GIVING WITH THE LEGS.

WHY? do this to the boy?

"Mhmmm do I?" He is teasing, and it's a dead give away from the smile he was attempting to hide by pretending to be FAR TOO BUSY playing with Mayday's hands. "What do you think May? Do you think he will love me forever?"

Said little bug was far too busy making little BABBLING NOISES as she played with her father's fingers, honestly rather UNINTERESTED in the current conversations, but that didn't even REMOTELY stop him from acting as if she HAD answered him.

"Mhmm I suppose you are making some VERY solid points, and I'll let this CLEAR favoritism pass just this once, I can't even be mad he is my favorite too." Yes he was pretending as if Clint wasn't standing DIRECTLY in front of both of them.

"We do in fact know that you will love me forever, but ONLY if you promise that.. if it ever changes you won't.. make yourself unhappy for my sake. I'm a tough cookie, just ask May.." He wasn't a tough cookie, but that didn't matter.

⭐️ James Rhodes (Marvel) + Clint Barton (Marvel): I'm only vaguely familiar with the crossover in their comics (and I don't think there's a lot?), but hear me out. Clint's chaos is not wholly unlike Tony's chaos, which makes Rhodey particularly adept at wrangling disaster humans. Forced to work together on a mission or something, they might be a lot of fun, or they might totally hate each other, but I think the result would be interesting either way! (I adore your Clint though, and I'd be glad to pair him with any of my Marvel muses!)

⭐️ Castiel (Supernatural) + Liandra (Fallen Angel): I'm not familiar with her comics so Cas and I would have to learn together, but I think a crossover with the fallen angels would be such a vibe! From her bio, it sounds like it would be super easy to fit Cas into her universe, and I could see him coming to her occasionally for help on a case. Same for John Constantine, but with significantly more bitter arsehole energy.

"Five days a week?"

Khan sounds genuinely surprised, at least for a fraction of a moment; The tone of his voice is accompanied by him lifting his head to properly look at her, his bright blue eyes taking in the sight of the woman in front of him.

She's a nurse, obviously so, currently taking his vitals while running a few other checks on his physique. Khan hasn't met her before; It's usually the doctor himself, McCoy, who treats him whenever something needs to be done on him. Perhaps he's busy, or perhaps McCoy gets bored by needing to work on him, who knows.

❝ Say the words and I'll do it again. Man want ta' ⸺ Only one right? Who else would do somthin' like it? Ehh, joke about havin' a futzing suit for e'erythin' ! You know how I'd take 'im down, first you gotta jam thrusters, shutdown a few systems, emp or shock, slow 'im down not stop 'cause the key not the shut gotta slosh his futzing brain 'round he can't think than DEAD; if lucky and fast, right comb, SEVEN. seven arrows.

❞ ANOTHER SWIG. ❝ Y' just need another one; base of the skull right. I'd do again; 'casue fuckin' love you, respect me. who wouldn't do what their friend BEGGED them ta do? ❞

It makes Banner feel something in the pit on his stomach, being around men when they're drinking, he knows all too well what liquor does to them, it emboldens, gives them the courage to hurt him, at least this time he deserved it. Keep his emotions in check long enough for Clint to get out what he clearly needed to.

❝ I know ❞

That hurt more than the arrow itself, doesn't mean however he was just going to idly stand by and watch Clint drink himself any further into the depths of despair, owes him at least that much. Without another word snatches the bottle from him, other hand for his shoulder.
